Poll: Will the Machinists get enough votes to strike the Boeing Co.?


Posted at 1:29 pm by Michelle Dunlop

Negotiators for the Machinists union have recommended that their members reject the Boeing Co.'s three-year contract offer and go on strike.

The 24,000 Machinists in the Puget Sound region will vote on Boeing's contract Sept. 3. The union needs 66.6 percent of its members to reject the company's offer and agree to strike. A work stoppage would start at 12:01 a.m., Sept. 4.

What do you think of union leaders' decision? Should the members strike?
